About

After 30-plus years as a database consultant I retired and created some courses on Udemy.  This experience has shown me a few things that I might list below (in no particular order).

  • My years of time spent on site with business owners and employees has given me a unique perspective on the common data problems business people face daily and how to solve them. This is in contrast to most "trainers" who have learned Access from books and classrooms.
  • Online courses are the answer for SOME people, but I think many more are never able to make the jump from the examples I give in the courses to THEIR particular situation. There is also a large group that is initially successful but make mistakes in the initial structure of their database that ultimately leads to its demise.
  • There is also a large group of people who want quick results and are not willing to take the time to learn Access well enough for them to be productive with it. These people will never be successful with Access and will only benefit from it's incredible capabilities by hiring or employing others who WILL take the time to learn.
  • For MOST people, getting really good with Access is going to require some time and a lot of interaction with others so they can see how THEIR situation should be handled. I have never found a platform that comes close to, or really even tries to, address these problems.

We are now entering that I would call a “golden” age of powerful online tools that can interact and can be setup to work together.  The drive in most of these tools is to allow people to create “passive” income by having systems that allow them to interact with people LESS than before.

But what if these tools were used instead to help solve the above problems?  That is my goal with A2P – to not only give members access to ALL my courses, but also to be able to help members with their individual problems.  The only way I can do that is by using these tools to automate everything else.  The ability to visually show members solutions via video is much more powerful and efficient than a written message and that is what we do in A2P every week.

But there is one more aspect to it – an Access “Topics” database that lets you quickly find and link to any topic from any course OR video Q&A in just a few seconds!  I think A2P is a platform that will allow many who have all but given up on Access to become very proficient and use it to lead themselves to greater prosperity!
